WILLIE REVILLAME RETURNS TO TELEVISION WITH OWN CHANNEL WIL TV ON CIGNAL

The MVP Group welcomes veteran TV host Willie Revillame back in full force as their partnership grows stronger — not only with a new show, but also with a new Cignal channel and a state-of-the-art studio named after him.

AFTER MONTHS OF SPECULATION and almost a year away from television, Kuya Wil is officially back... and this time, he's returning bigger than ever.

A ceremonial signing was held last week at the Launchpad CX studio in Mandaluyong to mark the launch of Wil TV, Willie Revillame's newest channel under the Kapatid Network umbrella, exclusive on MVP Group's direct-to-home (DTH) satellite television service Cignal TV.

Present at the contract signing were MQuest president and CEO Jane Basas, Cignal first vice president and chief revenue officer Gerard Milan, Cignal TV vice president for Engineering and Industry Relations Erwin Galang, and Revillame’s legal counsel Ferdinand Domingo.

The partnership, according to executives, goes beyond a simple program revival. This is the beginning of an expanded, modernized era for one of Philippine TV’s most iconic hosts.
